– What will you become when you grow up, Tigran?

– A Soldier.

– Tigran, all boys become soldiers, what else are you going to become?

– I will be a soldier, and that’s all…

Tigran Abazyan, who died in the 44-day Artsakh war, was in the first grade at school when he had the above-mentioned dialogue with the teacher.

Tigran was drafted into the army in January 2020. He participated in the hot battles of Hadrut and Jrakan occupied by the enemy.

The father, Vanik Abazyan, says that he went to the Russian Federation to work abroad, and after some time, he also took Tigran with him. After the April war in 2016, the boy decided that he should live in his homeland and serve in the Armenian Army.

“He was constantly singing in the bathroom: ‘My brother and I are going to battle.’ I said: Tigran, don’t sing that song, but he sang. He used to say, you know, I’m going to join the army, the war is going to start. I don’t know what kind of premonition it was,” his mother, Eleonora Vanyants recalls.

Tigran Abazyan was given the rank of lieutenant on the battlefield.

“We gave the soldier the rank of lieutenant; we gave that rank because we felt that he is capable.” They saw that he was able to make the right decisions,” said one of Tigran’s commanders in a conversation with Tigran’s father.

Tigran was wounded in the back, and then he was surrounded by several boys. They hid near Vank village.

“Tigran and two other people come out of hiding to find a way out. He told the boys: I see a car. Let’s go and see, we can come and pick you up, but they were captured by”Yashma”, and they haven’t seen him since then,” the mother says.
